ROFL!!!!

Hilarious!

HA!!!! That's great!!!!

Cute This may be an old T-shirt. It probably should say Civic instead of Honda. The Civic non-hybrid, non-Si's torque is 110lb/ft@4500 rpm. The Si is 132 @ 5000 , the Insight is 66@4800. Pretty pathetic. Most Honda owners wouldn't have a clue what their torque figures were.The rest of their products other than the S2000 (153@7500) are tuned for torque, not high rev hp..Sorry to screw up a perfectly funny thread with a serious question....Scott, what should lug nuts be at these days? No I don't have a torque wrench.Tire shops over tighten I find. My daughter put all her 110 lbs on a lug wrench and couldn't budge the nut. (Coincidentally it was on my old VTEC honda )

That depend on the size of the wrench and force applied. 76-ft/lbs means you have to apply 76 pounds of force to the wrench that is 1 foot long. If the wrench is 1.5 feet long, you only need about 50 pounds of force. If the wrench is 2 feet long, you only need 38 pounds of force.Since the factory supplied tire wrench is about 1 foot long you could easily apply 76-pounds of force unless you weigh less than 76 pounds. Here's an easy way to tell, take a bathroom scale and lean on it with your hand in the same way you would apply force to a wrench. See how much pressure you can apply.
